Governors Ball announces insanely good lineup

Kanye! The xx! Kings of Leon! Animal Collective! Deerhunter! Nas! And many more!

Wowza. We’ve been fans of local music fest Governors Ball since its first go-round in 2011, but this year’s onslaught of acts (announced earlier today) is a big step up. Besides the notable names mentioned above, here are some other acts you can look forward to catching on Randalls Island this summer: Grizzly Bear, Kendrick Lamar, Japandroids, Beirut, Feist, Beach House, Bloc Party, Fucked Up, Azealia Banks, the Avett Brothers, Cut Copy, Best Coast, Dinosaur Jr. and Crystal Castles. There’s also a yet-to-be-announced third headliner. To repeat: Wowza. The fest goes down on June 7, 8 and 9. And early-bird three-day passes ($190) go on sale this Friday at noon.
